G protein-coupled receptor 88

The protein encoded by this gene is a G protein-coupled receptor found almost exclusively in the striatum, a brain structure that controls motor function and cognition. Defects in this gene have been associated with chorea, speech delay, and learning difficulties, as well as some neuropsychiatric disorders. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2017]

Probable G-protein coupled receptor implicated in a large repertoire of behavioral responses that engage motor activities, spatial learning, and emotional processing. May play a role in the regulation of cognitive and motor function.
